The Harvard Plate Stacks wants to share as many resources as possible, including highlighting events, exhibitions, talks, and programs put on by other organizations. The listing of an event does not imply or constitute or an endorsement, partnership, or sponsorship unless explicitly stated. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed on their websites do not necessarily represent those of the Harvard Plate Stacks, the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard and Smithsonian, or our parent organizations.
Are you featuring items from our collection or sharing the history of Women Astronomical Computers? We would love to know. Send an email to HarvardPlateStacks@CfA.Harvard.edu with information about your event to be included in our records and possibly listed here. We cannot list every event and prioritize scholarly, innovative, accessible, and free programing.
